Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. shook off a bloody gash on his right ring finger to hit three home runs on Wednesday night against the New York ...

A replay review confirmed the ball went out. The 23-year-old Guerrero immediately began waving the hand around, then walked toward Toronto's dugout as blood dripped onto his uniform and the turf. A trainer taped up the digit in the dugout, and after a couple of minutes, Guerrero jogged back to first base and the game continued.

Guerrero Jr. entered the evening without a home run against Gerrit Cole; that changed quickly as he got the Yankees' ace twice.

That gave Guerrero a 4-for-4 night with the three home runs and four RBI. Just like that, he was hitting .391/.417/.957 on the season. Although it would've been reasonable to see Guerrero leaving for the night to get an X-ray or stitches or just out of an abundance of caution, he remained in the game. There were 14 three-homer games last season, including one from Guerrero on April 27 against the Nationals. The damage Guerrero inflicted on the Yankees' pitching staff wasn't limited to just Cole, either. The most notable aspect of Hicks' base knock was that he inadvertently stepped on Guerrero's bare hand, which he had placed on the foul line to steady himself in order to retrieve the bounced throw. The umpires then conferred and ruled that Guerrero's batted ball had cleared the wall before then bouncing onto the field of play.

Shortly after being spiked on his right ring finger, the Toronto Blue Jays slugger crushed his second home run in his second at-bat Wednesday night against ...

With two outs in the third, the bandaged-up Guerrero crushed a 97-mph 1-1 fastball well over the left field wall for a two-run shot and a 3-0 Toronto lead. Guerrero Jr. instantly shook his hand in pain and was attended to, with a towel wrapped around his bloodied finger. Bracing for a wide throw on a close second inning play, Guerrero Jr. placed his exposed right hand in the path of the baseline, and Hicks could not avoid the contact.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the 2021 MLB home run leader, connected twice off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole, now has four homers in six games this season.

In the top of the third, he hammered a 427-foot line-drive homer off Cole to put Toronto up 3-0. He doubled off Cole in the sixth – prompting the pitcher to make a show of tipping his cap to the 23-year-old – then launched a 443-foot leadoff homer against Jonathan Loaisiga in the eighth for a 5-3 lead. The game was temporarily halted so Toronto's athletic training staff could treat the bleeding.

The New York Yankees watched Vladimir Guerrero Jr. crush three home runs in a 6-4 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.

In the next at-bat, George Springer singled up the middle to score pinch runner Cavan Biggio. Santiago Espinal’s grounder went to shortstop, but Torres bobbled the double-play turn and extended the inning. Gleyber Torres’ solo shot to right field in the eighth inning cut the Blue Jays’ advantage to 6-4. Hicks loudly protested, seeming to believe the ball never hit the netting beyond the wall. Anthony Rizzo and Aaron Judge hit back-to-back solo shots in a fifth inning that saw the Yankees tie the game at 3-3. Guerrero crushed three home runs and a double while driving in four runs.

NEW YORK — By now, we're familiar with what Vlad Guerrero Jr. can do to a baseball when he swings and connects with the violence that has made him one of ...

“I learned the importance of this and that I had to have a consistent routine.” It was also a point of pride for Guerrero, who went through that full-season grind for the first time in his career. “It’s really a credit to him because he’s so talented that people look past what it takes to keep him on the field,” said Jays bench coach John Schneider, who managed Guerrero in the minor leagues as well. At the start of spring training, it was clear that he was even in better physical shape than a year ago. “Off the field, it was about how I eat and making sure I get my nutrition properly. What may be just as impressive, however, is that he’s carried that physical momentum and discipline into 2022, serving notice of another potentially big season ahead.

Stanton's drive in the eighth would've tied it, but left fielder Raimel Tapia caught it with his back against the wall. Springer responded in the seventh with an RBI single against Loaisiga. Montoyo said he'd get an MRI, and the team would know more Thursday. A replay review confirmed the ball went out. The fourth-year big leaguer immediately began waving the hand around, then walked toward Toronto's dugout as blood dripped onto his uniform and the turf. "Like in the `Rocky' movie," Montoyo recalled. Rizzo has three homers in six games. "Did you see the night?" Hicks stomped on it running out an infield single. "If you had a cap, you'd tip it, too. "`Cut me, Mick! I'm bleeding!" The AL MVP runner-up homered off Cole in the first inning, had his hand accidentally spiked on a play at first base in the second, then hammered a line-drive, two-run shot against Cole in the third to put Toronto up 3-0.

Few pitchers could handle Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in what was a breakout 2021 campaign. Less than a week into the 2022 season, Guerrero has ...

Guerrero’s third dinger of the night clocked in at 114.4 mph off the bat, traveling 443 feet to the second deck in left field. The impressive night marked Guerrero’s second career three-homer game. His first-inning blast traveled 416 feet to dead center field, while the second was measured at 427 feet, per Statcast. Each had exit velocities of 109.1 miles per hour.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is showing that last season was just the beginning for the Toronto Blue Jays slugger after a special night at Yankee Stadium.

So for some on the Blue Jays staff, this might require some patience and more support from the offence to give them the runway they need. He’s also helping the Blue Jays win games that have always been a struggle for this team in the past. One is Hyun-Jin Ryu who had a nightmare inning against the Texas Rangers that have magnified the struggles he went through last season. Hitting 60 home runs in a single season hasn’t been done since 2001 when Sammy Sosa had 64 and Barry Bonds led the way with 73. It also shows how Guerrero Jr. can take over a game like only a few stars in the league can. When the Yankees ace tipped his cap to the Blue Jays slugger, he pretty much summed up what everybody watching that game was feeling.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr., even with a bleeding hand, put on a show in a Blue Jays win over the Yankees in the Bronx on Wednesday.

In the ninth inning, aiming to join Carlos Delgado as the only player in franchise history with a four-homer game, Guerrero was left standing on deck as the Blue Jays went down in order. Guerrero was rushed back to the Blue Jays dugout, and two stitches were applied to his bleeding hand. But not even Ruth did there what Guerrero pulled off just across the street on Wednesday. Cole was making his 236th career start on Wednesday; Guerrero became the first player ever with three extra-base hits off him in a game. The performance was Guerrero’s second three-home run game of his young career, becoming, at barely 23 years of age, the second-youngest player in MLB history with multiple three-homer games. Guerrero showed off all of it on Wednesday on a special night at Yankee Stadium.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. needed two stitches in his right hand after Wednesday's game, but before that he managed to club three home runs against the Yankees.

He did all of that despite needing two stitches in his injured finger after the game. Guerrero had homered off Yankees ace Gerrit Cole in the first inning prior to the injury. Why? Because he was bloodied in the second inning while playing first base.
